Definitions

  • the invention relates to a magnetic conditioner for liquids, in particular for fluid fuels, with a housing and at least one magnet insert which has a magnet and a flow path for a liquid, a passage cross section being variable as a function of the flow pressure of the liquid.
  • a tubular conditioner for the treatment of liquid petroleum products has become known from US Pat. No. 4,611,615A, which is intended in particular to prevent paraffin and other deposits on the pipe walls. From this document the use of magnets in connection with swirled liquid areas is known to be known.
  • a conditioner of the type mentioned at the outset emerges from the applicant's EP-A 0 277 112 and represents a further development insofar as the movable magnet insert described there enables adaptation to different flow rates and the desired results both with very low and with large flow rates delivers.
  • the magnet insert has a non-magnetizable outer part in which a movable magnetizable ball is accommodated in such a way that the passage cross section is defined by the ball and a seat on the magnet assigned to it, the ball being subject to a force effect of at least the magnet and the flow pressure.
  • a magnetic conditioner according to the invention has a very simple construction and, due to its mode of operation, is independent of its installation position, while it also has the advantages of a flow cross section that can be adapted to the flow rate.
  • a magnetic conditioner according to the invention is very simple, inexpensive and can be produced with a wide variety of dimensions. It is usually advantageous if the seat is at least largely sealed in order to exert sufficient fluid pressure on the ball to change the passage cross section, even at relatively low flow rates.
  • the ball can be acted upon by a spring with a force by which the force of the magnet on the ball is largely balanced in its stop position on the seat.
  • the magnet insert can optionally be assembled from a few, readily available parts.
  • a magnetic conditioner according to the invention is particularly easy to implement if the ball is soft magnetic and therefore the force effect of the magnet is independent of its spatial position.
  • a stop limiting the movement of the ball in the flow direction can be provided.
  • guide elements can be set up which laterally limit the movement of the ball.
  • a defined flow path through the magnet insert is very easy to implement if one or more outflow openings are provided downstream of the ball and are designed as holes in a cover plate of the magnet insert.
  • the stop is designed as the edge of a central outflow opening, because in this way a stable position of the ball in the upper stop position can be achieved.
  • the cover plate is formed in one piece with the outer part.
  • the outer part is made of aluminum, a lightweight magnet insert that is compatible with many liquids can be provided.
  • the magnet insert has an essentially cylindrical shape. It can therefore be easily installed in an appropriate housing.
  • a magnetic conditioner according to the invention can be expedient, in which magnetic inserts form a plurality of flow paths in a parallel arrangement.
  • magnetic inserts in a row arrangement can form a flow path, it being expedient to provide a sealing ring in each case between adjacent magnetic inserts.
  • the magnet can be magnetized in the axial direction; if there are several magnet inserts, the magnets can be polarized alternately in the flow direction.
  • the different design of the magnetic field can prove to be advantageous, for example for the preparation of different liquids or a liquid in different flow states.
  • the housing can be essentially rotationally symmetrical. Easier assembly is achieved if the housing consists essentially of two parts that can be connected to one another.
  • FIG. 1 shows a section along a diameter of a magnet insert according to the invention
  • Fig. 2 is a bottom view of the magnet insert of Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 3 is a plan view of the magnet insert of Fig. 1;
  • FIG. 4 shows a series combination of several identical magnet inserts according to FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 5 shows a parallel combination of several identical magnet inserts according to FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 6 shows a plan view of an arrangement of magnetic inserts according to the invention
  • FIG. 7 shows a cross section of a housing part according to the invention with a magnet insert
  • a magnet insert 10 essentially has three functional parts, namely an outer part 1, a magnet 2 and a movable soft magnetic ball 4.
  • the magnet 2 is a permanent magnet has a ring shape, is axially magnetized and forms an essentially sealing seat 3 for the ball 4, to which it exerts an attractive magnetic force.
  • the outer part 1 is substantially cylindrical and concentrically surrounds the magnet 2, as shown in Fig. 2, and encloses the ball 4 so that a flow path for a liquid is formed in the direction indicated by an arrow F when the ball 4 is lifted off the seat 3 by the liquid pressure.
  • the liquid flows through the magnetic ring 2, between the ball 4 and the associated seat 3 and then through outflow openings 8.
  • the outflow openings 8 are realized as bores in a cover plate 7 of the outer part 1, which in turn can be made in one piece with the outer part 1, as shown.
  • the cover plate 7 also has a central bore 9.
  • the former are evenly distributed over a circumference around the latter, for example to promote a symmetrical flow through the magnet insert 10, and their number and diameter are also matched to a desired flow.
  • the diameter of the central bore 9 is matched to the size of the ball 4 because its edge serves as a stop 6 for it when a strong flow pressure of the liquid detaches the ball 4 from the seat 3 and lifts it up to the cover plate 7.
  • the ball 4 is also in a defined stable position in this case.
  • the path of the ball 4 between the intended stop positions on the seat 3 or the bore 9 can also be predetermined by guide elements, not shown, in order to rule out further stable positions of the ball 4. This means that a magnetic conditioner can be installed in any position in a liquid line.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 Particular advantages of a magnetic conditioner with a magnet insert 10 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 result from the fact that the greatest flow velocities occur in a region of high magnetic field strength, as is beneficial for a magnetic treatment of a liquid, for example fuel or water.
  • This area extends essentially around that passage cross-section which is defined by the ball 4 and the seat 3.
  • the field lines of the axially magnetized, ring-shaped magnet 2 passing through the ball 4 have a relatively high field strength in the section between these two magnetizable bodies, ie in the area of the passage cross-section mentioned.
  • This passage cross section is variable as a function of the flow pressure of the liquid, as is desired for a magnetic liquid conditioner, in order to enable a corresponding adaptation to different flow rates.
  • the magnet insert 10 can be modified in several ways if desired.
  • the magnet 2 can have a perforated disk-like or tube-like shape that deviates from the ring shape.
  • different ⁇ force AVeg ratios can be achieved for the magnetizable ball 4, which in turn can ensure a transmission behavior of a magnetic conditioner according to the invention which is adapted to the respective application.
  • permanent magnets are mostly used in magnetic conditioners, as in the embodiment described, because they do not consume electrical energy, the use of electromagnets is also provided in order to obtain a controllable magnetic conditioner if required.
  • the seat 3 can also be designed as a separate component attached to the magnet 2 if direct contact of the magnet 2 with the ball 4 is to be avoided, for example in order to avoid any adhesion effects that may occur.
  • This can be recommended for applications with particularly high requirements with regard to the constancy of the operating behavior or the service life of the magnetic conditioner according to the invention.
  • additional design measures may make it necessary to avoid direct contact of the magnet 2 with the liquid to be treated, in particular if a high-quality magnet material that is corroded in combination with the liquid used is used. This can be achieved, for example, by an inner part (not shown), which, like the outer part 1, also consists of non-magnetizable material, which insulates the magnet 2 from the liquid and also forms the required flow path.
  • FIG. 4 Another variant of a magnetic processor according to the invention is provided by a series arrangement of three magnet inserts 10 of the type described above shown in FIG. 4.
  • an overall longer flow path of the liquid through magnetic field regions is created, wherein sealing rings 11 are advantageously provided between the individual magnet inserts 10.
  • O-rings can also be used.
  • An additional spring element 5 is set up in the first magnet insert 10, which acts on the ball 4 with a force by which the force of the magnet 2 on the ball 4 in its stop position on the seat 3 is largely compensated. This avoids the case where the magnetic forces on the individual balls 4 are not overcome by the force of the available flow pressure, an intended change in the passage cross section or at least a flow is ensured at all.
  • magnet inserts 10 can also be provided with a spring element 5 functioning as described, for example if additional magnet inserts 10 are subsequently inserted in a fuel supply line with limited flow pressure to improve the conditioning effect.
  • a parallel arrangement of several, for example three magnetic inserts 10 is also provided, especially if a magnetic conditioner with a larger total flow cross section is to be built from similar magnetic inserts 10 available in large numbers.
  • magnetic inserts 10 forming parallel flow paths can easily be accommodated in a housing 20 with a round cross section.
  • the individual flow paths themselves can also be formed from a plurality of magnet inserts 10 arranged one behind the other, as shown in FIG. 4.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention which contains a magnetic insert 10 as described above, has a cylindrical housing part 21, shown in FIG. 7, with a connection connection 24 for the drain and a housing part 22, shown in FIG. 8, with a connection connection 23 for the inflow of the liquid to be treated.
  • the two housing parts 21, 22 can be screwed together in order to make it easier to replace the magnet insert 10. In the simplest case, they can be plugged together and, for example, also allow a change between the described design variants of magnet inserts 10. This can be used in practice for the inexpensive adaptation of a magnetic conditioner to changed flow rates or liquid properties. The invention therefore favors the particularly advantageous implementation of magnetic conditioners in series.
